Aren’t these Santa Hats cute? They’re really simple to make, with only 3 ingredients. Plus, they’re actually healthy, which is a nice change from all the sweets we eat over the holidays. My kids loved the fun shapes of Santa hats on top of crackers. They like cherry tomatoes anyway, so these were an instant hit….
Cranberry Coconut Blender Pie
I’ll start this off with a quote from Jack Handy (I love his Deep Thoughts): “When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, mmmmmmmm, boy.” I love pie and would happily go to pie heaven,…

Crockpot Mongolian Beef
Sometimes after a busy day when we just want to relax, our family likes to watch a movie together and eat Chinese food. It’s the one time we let the kids eat in the living room instead of at the dining room table. We have a big round coffee table in the middle of our living room where I set…
Cincinnati Chili
It was a rainy, cold Saturday when I made this Cincinnati chili. It rained so hard that Bennett’s soccer game was cancelled.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Marbled Banana Bread #DoYouSpoon
Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Banana. Are there any three ingredients more perfect for each other? It’s like the holy trinity of baked goods. When thinking of a recipe using Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese Spreads, adding banana was a no-brainer, but I was having trouble deciding how to best combine them in a recipe. I was telling…
